Cot Operation
22
Operating Break–away Head Section
A
A
The head end of the cot litter folds down to shorten the length of the cot and allow for maneuvering when space
is limited in elevators, halls, etc.
The break–away head section should only be used when the cot is in positions 5–8 (see page 12).
To lower the break–away head section, raise the backrest to its uppermost position (see page 21 for back-
rest operation instructions). Squeeze either red release handle (A) at the head end of the cot with one hand
while supporting the head section with the other hand. Lower the head section.
To raise the break–away head section, lift the break–away head section until the release handles click and
the head section locks into place.
CAUTION
Damage to the cot can occur if the cot is lowered in the shortened position. Use only positions 5–8 (see page
12) when the cot is shortened.
